In 2024 the community is celebrating the 10-year anniversary for Youth Outdoor Activity Day!
Everyone is welcome to join us on Sunday, Aug. 25, from 10 am to 4 pm.
This FUN and FREE community event inspires our families, children, neighbors and friends to learn about fun activities playing in the great outdoors.

Youth Outdoor Activity Day is a free family-friendly event intended to provide youth a fun environment in which to learn about outdoor recreation. Activities include trap shooting, archery, hunting, angling and many other related skills. Over 40 hands-on activities and demonstrations are planned. This public event is made possible through a consortium of participating volunteer organizations, businesses, individuals, and donors. Hosted and organized by the Viking Sportsmen (VS) and Douglas County Pheasants Forever (PF), the annual event takes place at the Alexandria Shooting Park.
Expect more than 2400 youth participants, taking part in more than 40 activities. It all takes place thanks to the work of 250 annual volunteers and more than 60 sponsors.
REMINDER: Youth Outdoor Activity Day respectfully requests that NO DOGS, PETS or GUNS be brought to the event.
